How good is The King of Limbs (a month later...)

Featured Replies

So it's been a month since TKOL has been released, which I guess seems like a good amount of time for people to digest the album.

 

So where would you rank this album as of now compared to the rest of their catalog?

 

 

 

For me it'd be:

In Rainbows

Kid A/OK Computer

HTTT

The Bends

Amnesiac

TKOL

Pablo Honey

Wow, Mike. You voted 7? I'm surprised, but I like the fact that you're being honest up there! :lol:

 

I voted 5, but it's actually somewhere between 5 or 6.

I would place it fifth in their catalogue. I'm pretty sure that's the highest it will go; maybe to fourth but definitely not higher than that.

I still haven't listened to it.

haha yeah. I mean I still enjoy the songs but it's definitely not as strong as their other albums and also I feel that this album doesn't really have any standout songs. Lotus Flower comes closest.

 

 

Also though I've been able ot hear more input from the other members as I listen more closely to the album it still feels like a Thom solo effort. If it was released under his name I'd enjoy it, but being under the title of Radiohead the bar is raised much higher and also it makes me expect more input from the other members.

 

 

 

edit: you guys mentioned 5th place... so where does that rank to the others?

This is nearly identical to my own rankings. Flip TKOL and Amnesiac and you have my list (so...that'd be a 6). I've always had some trouble with Amnesiac, honestly.

 

Come to think of it, I haven't listened to TKOL in probably two weeks, though that's probably because I haven't been in a Radiohead mood. That may be precisely the problem - a new Radiohead album should totally get me in the mood to repeatedly listen to them.

 

But I still don't dislike TKOL. :)

I like those songs, but they haven't really blown me away, though I still find them enjoyable. I actually tried finding the songs on itunes or four tet's site but nothing yet.

 

 

where does this album rank for the rest of you, if you had to make a list

haha

I told you man, they probably won't be available legally on the internet. But this means they're ok with vinyl rips...Four Tet even said, looking forward to seeing this on youtube tomorrow :P

 

Oh and way to make a complicated poll, Mike!

haha yeah true. I hope vinyl uploads come soon.

 

 

also the poll wasn't so complicated. I even put down 1=best, 8=worst

Still don't like it.

 

edit: voted wrong. ;___; clicked 8 instead of 7

Lol my bad. I misread 'rank' as 'rate'. :freak: :shame:

I think it ranks as seventh for me. Only has one good song, not that the others are bad. It's just gotten to be boring after awhile.

I still don't really see it as an album.

Exactly. I see it as an EP instead. :|

It's pretty simple, 8x1 (BestxWorst) = 8 which is multiplied by 8 (The amount of Radiohead albums) and subtracted by your 3rd favourite/3rd worst and divide by a x c=b.

hi rielly (sic!)

how long did it take you to come up with this? it's so amazing.

what if I add a "-1" to this?
